Rock & Republic Contrived Pressed Blush in Spank Rock & Republic Exhibition Pressed Powder in Satin For the longest time I would just wear this with Naked Lunch as my go-to look. Its soft, creamy, and pigmented and applies like a dream.

I also wore these during the video, but I'll talk about them in the future. MAC Satin Taupe: This is a Veluxe Pearl shadow, which is my absolute favorite finish from MAC. These swatches were with no primer at all, and they are the very swatches I did while making the video so it's not like I was trying extra hard to get great swatches. I hope you can see from my swatches how high-quality and saturated these colors are. 'MAC Satin Taupe' aki eli apvalga, 'Swatch', 'FOTD': ar tai i tikrj yra altos, varios, rudos spalvos, su violetinmis atspalvmis - taupe, kaip j galima dti. Seriously, I could call nearly all of them my favorites on any given day though. The colors that I LOVE the most from this collection are Carat, Lawsuit, and Snakeskin. Twisted - glowy cool purple with a purple-blue flash I have a few shades I’d like to try out next, including: Woodwinked, Shroom and Aquadisiac.Paranoid - awesomely warm, matte, saturated purple I’m beginning to see how collecting them can turn into quite the obsession. Goldbit may look pretty bland compared to the other two but it’s honestly a beautiful shade that will bring together your entire look. My first experience of MAC eyeshadows has been entirely positive. The colour pay off on all three eyeshadows is seriously impressive. It’s incredibly long lasting, crease proof and gives a subtle, almost pinky, shimmer without being too overpowering or glittery.

This shade is a gorgeous bronze that is packed full of pigment and is buttery soft to apply. Regardless, these are the ladies in the know-how when it comes to MAC eyeshadows. I think it was both Anne from and Jasmine from that recommended Satin Taupe to me, although I could be wrong. I’m hoping to write a post very soon about a few of my favourites. Shades like Amber Lights, Romp, and Satin Taupe are some of MAC’s standout eyeshadows within their entire permanent range. Urban Decay Rush is similar to Romp, but it’s less golden. Romp is a medium-dark, golden brown with a frost finish. I cannot stress how much I also rely on beauty blogs to guide my makeup choices. Satin Taupe is a dark taupe with a frost finish.

The soft, shimmering champagne is lovely in the corner of the eye and gently swept under my brow to bring my whole look together. It a difficult shade to truly capture in a photograph as it’s opalescent formula is very similar to the finish of Silver Ring. Goldbit is the perfect, warm, highlighting shade. It’s not as overpowering as some thick grey shades can be, it shimmers like a pearl as it’s finish suggests, but it’s also buildable if your want to achieve a more dramatic, statement look. This silver shade is actually quite subtle at first, which I love. The formula is super blendable and easy to play around with whilst having minimal fall, which I would expect from a high-end shadow. This iridescent shadow has an almost violet shimmer to it in certain light.

A smokey eye is my go to nighttime look as, let’s face it, I’m no makeup artist and popping on a bit of smokey grey is a quick way to look all dark and mysterious. I knew that I had so go for a smokey grey as these are the most used shades in all my eyeshadow palettes. I know I’ll get a lot of wear out of all three shades as they are all highly versatile in terms of creating a variety of both day and night looks. I decided to keep it simple with three basic shades that no eyeshadow collection should be without, but in three different finishes. Picking just three proved rather tricky, but after a wrist-to-elbow worth of swatches and some advice from my favourite beauty blogger babes I’m really happy with my choices. These are actually the first ever eyeshadows I’ve bought from MAC. Remember that duty-free airport MAC haul I spoke about a while ago? Well, here’s three more stunning little purchases I made during my agonising 5 hour wait at Gatwick London.
